Picnic Junior Backend Developer

Picnic is a rapidly growing, venture backed startup based in Silicon Valley. We have built a mobile social application that serves as the gateway to hobbies, passion points, and interests – the “operating system for interests”. We have grown to over a million users within 2 months (faster than early snapchat, youtube, or music.ly [tiktok]), have better usage than leading social networks, and present an opportunity to positively impact socialization for a generation and beyond, shaping the internet and giving a taste of community to gen z. We’ve closed a fundraising round and are looking for talented, hardcore software engineers to lead our product scaling and growth.

We're looking for a junior backend developer with full time availability to support us in maintaining our current codebase and introduce new features following the current architecture. Our backend runs on GCP and serverless Firebase. Experience with Docker, Linux, CLI, GCP and node js is required.

You'll be part of a small distributed team of developers (mobile + backend) and will be work with senior backend developers for any support you'll need along the way.

We reward productivity and welcome any feedback (technical and otherwise) to improve the working environment for everybody on the team.

We're looking for full-time availability starting as soon as possible early this week. We pay highly competitively and are happy to accommodate any payment form preferences. We are NOT looking for agencies, we are looking for REMOTE developers.
